AMD just lit a beacon of hope for gamers with older Radeon RX graphics cards. As VideoCardz reports, Jack Huynh, AMD Senior Vice President and General Manager of Computing and Graphics, says the company is bringing its FSR Upscaling 4.1 support to RDNA 3 GPUs this July.
Currently, FSR 4.1 (AMD’s answer to Nvidia’s DLSS) is only available for Radeon RX 9000 cards featuring the latest RDNA 4 technology. When this update goes live in July, Radeon RX 7000 can get in on the upscaling action. Best of all, over 300 games will be supported at launch.

AMD hasn’t forgotten about folks using older RDNA 2 GPUs, as FSR 4.1 will be coming to those cards sometime in early 2027. We don’t yet have a full compatibility list, but this should see support for the Radeon RX 6000 series of desktop and mobile GPUs. That last one is especially worth noting for anyone using one of the best gaming laptops with an AMD Radeon RX 6000 chip.
ML upscaling tech allows low- to mid-range graphics cards to punch above their weight, delivering smoother frame rates and sharper visuals. Nvidia’s DLSS is still the undisputed king of AI upscaling, but AMD has been catching up and is doing admirable work. It was always a shame that FSR 4 was only for newer cards, so it’s great that folks with older Radeon GPUs won’t miss out on the action.
AMD hasn’t said exactly when in July this update will go live for RDNA 3 cards. Still, that’s not too far in the future, so we should soon know how much better games perform and look on those older cards. I’m also curious to see whether this update translates to the best gaming handhelds with RNDA 3 GPUs, like the Asus ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion Go 2.
